You can’t have better teachers than Professors Subhash Lakhotia, L. S. Shashidhara and colleagues for fly biology. Apply for this ‘hands-on’ workshop on how teachers can use Drosophila for genetics, cell- and developmental biology. Ask the college teachers in your city to apply. And, enjoy a great intellectual week at @NCBS_Bangalore
Applications are open for the 8th hands-on workshop on using Drosophila melanogaster for biology laboratory classes at NCBS, Bengaluru (2–8 Sept 2026).
🗓️ Apply by July 6, 2026. 🪰

If you know a good candidate, please send them my way!
My driver called me and informed me that his son is getting laid off and asked me "Is it because of AI which you are doing, Sir?"
I am dumbstruck. He has a daughter who just got married. He had taken loan for the marriage. I do not know how to respond to him.

Human-to-human transmission of Hantavirus is concerning news. It has already crossed borders. Hopefully, its spread can be contained.
The World Health Organization said Thursday that five confirmed infections have been identified among people connected to the cruise ship MV Hondius, as health authorities across several countries race to trace and contain the outbreak. cnn.it/3PeMM50
